I’ve had close to about 40 frames done with Mario. It’s true sometimes he can be a bit sloppy, but he is a lovely and generous guy and if you point out that it’s not up to scratch he’s always made amends.
His comms skills - other than calls - are legendarily terrible. I learnt to always give him everything I wanted drawn out/ printed up with clear RAL codes etc.
I’ve had frames done with others like Argos and they are better - neater, crisper finishes and hardier/longer lasting - but for what you get money wise from Mario I would still say he is super great value and you can get 2 or 3 spray jobs with him for the price of one elsewhere.
